Said she was sorry for misleading statements to cops
OCTOBER 12--Weeks before the scheduled start of the Kobe Bryant trial, his female accuser wrote a letter apologizing for intentional misstatements she made when first interviewed last year by Colorado police. In a handwritten letter to state investigator Gerry Sandberg (a copy of which you'll find below), the woman claimed that one such "mix-up" was triggered by her concern that Detective Doug Winters, lead investigator on the Bryant case, "did not believe what had happened to me." The woman's letter, which was included in a stack of documents just released by Eagle County prosecutors, also further clarifies a "degrading comment" the NBA star allegedly made to the woman, now 20, during the pair's June 2003 encounter at a Vail-area resort.

Interesting comment by Kobe to the girl. He is a sleaze, but he asked permission to perform something at sexual climax. The question is, if he was raping her why would he ask permission?
Book her Danno...
I have another question. If he were indeed raping her, why would he stop when she told him to?
No sympathy here.
He may be sleazy, but that's not enough to convict anyone of rape...or any other crime for that matter...
FWIW, if she didn't, he could turn around and say she never objected. Would she have gone into a room with a guy she thought would turn into a rapist? If that's the case, that she didn't think for a moment that the guy would turn into a rapist, then why wouldn't she think telling him no might get him to stop?
Agreed,
Sometimes you are so startled at what is happening you don't say anything.
And it did. Ergo, it's not rape. If the guy stops, by definition the woman is not being forced.
Not exactly....
Kobe Case Dropped, Fox-CNN-MSNBC Cut Back to 12 Hours
(2004-09-01) -- On the day that prosecutors dropped charges against basketball star Kobe Bryant, the three major cable news networks announced they would cut back to 12-hours of daily programming.
"Without the Kobe show, we just can't fill 24 hours a day," said one unnamed programming executive. "I mean you can only run so many Michael Jackson perp walks and pictures of Scott Peterson smirking."
A Fox News spokesman said her network would purchase exclusive rights to the second season of the Kobe trial, expected to start soon.
"Kobe is the new Regis," said the Fox source. "This could run 13 seasons, then go into eternal syndication."
She pried his hands off her neck. That's what the testimony has always been, that's what's in the letter, and I believe Bryant himself called it "the strangling".
He didn't just stop when she told him to, numerous times.
But I know facts matter little on these threads so I'll just mosey back to Kerry imploding.
And, per testimony, he didn't put his hands back once she removed them. If I am being attacked, I expect the attacker to do a more persistent job than that.
To be clear...in addition to having to pry his hands off her neck, she says she told him no repeatedly.
FYI
And per testimony she said no numerous times and he held her, even he admits, by the neck (strangling) until she finally pried his hands off.
How nice you think that's acceptable.
Sorry, but if someone is sticking their @#$%% up your $%^^&^ and you don't say something, don't blame it on being "startled"...
examples: EEK! ACCCKKK! WHOOOAAHH! STOP! OUCH! YEOW!
/sarcasm..
I would love to see HIS testimony that he was strangling her.
